I'm also on the preferred waitlist. I think I'll forget about G-town until they e-mail in May. This can't be a good sign for the rest of my apps.

For everyone who was quickly put on GULC waitlist, don't despair. I was put on the waitlist there before receiving any other decisions, but I was admitted to PENN, UVA, NYU and deferred at Harvard and Columbia. Also, I saw the profile of someone accepted to Harvard who was put on the waitlist at GULC.

Don't be discouraged by the waitlist, you could very easily be accepted to much higher ranked schools. Just in case that is important to you.

Same here. Waitlisted at G'town after acceptances to NYU, UMich, and UVa, and a Columbia deferral. Needless to say, I'm not going to wait around for G'town.

I'm actually on Spring Break right now and won't be back for another two weeks...

My roommate called and told me that I made the preferred waitlist at Georgetown. Was there anything on the letter that said that you need to send in a form to secure a spot on it? Or do you automatically stay on it in virtue of not withdrawing?

I'm down, essentially, to Cornell and Vanderbilt (though Visiting GW soon), and I'd like to wait until I know about Georgetown (and Duke).

The letter says to direct correspondence to Sophia Sim, Director of Admissions. There's an email address specifically set up for the waiting list that it instructs us to use to confirm our interest in remaining on the list and informing GULC of important dates. I sent an email confirming my interest and asking some questions about supplementary materials, but have yet to hear a reply. I'll post on this thread when I hear back.

Good luck to all PWLers, especially my fellow splitters!

I'm also PWL at GULC. Also a splitter. Interestingly, my letter says nothing of Sophia Sim, nor of a special waitling list e-mail. It merely says that they will contact me again in May, and provides an e-mail address for my withdrawl.

same here...I was worried when I first read that post since I haven't contacted GULC since then, maybe we got a different letter because we were in the first batch of those WLed (I was EA, got the decision in December I think)?

I guess it's a different round of letters. On the upside, because they're personalized, maybe we can all feel a little fuzzier.
